DHS requires that the STEM OPT student and employer work together to complete the Form I-983. Properly completing this form will successfully document the relationship between the STEM OPT opportunity, the academic degree received and the learning objectives of the F-1 student.

The verb employ means "to make use of." An employer hires an employee, or worker, in order to employ him at various tasks. A factory owner is an employer who might hire people to work on an assembly line. If you're a teacher, then your school is your employer.

In this section, you will be asked to list the names of companies you have worked for. These fields will be labelled as “employer name.” If you have an extensive work history or the form limits the number of employers you can list, then prioritize the employer names of the most recent or relevant work history.

Include the name and location of the company. Provide your job title. Specify the dates of employment. List your most important accomplishments and responsibilities.

Don't overthink it too much. Typically, it relates to the name of an organization or company where you've previously worked. However, the employer name in a sentence may also pertain to the current employer you're working for at the time of application. It doesn't refer to your supervisor or boss.
